Socialists Denounce ! Bolsheviki Armistice I'etrograd, Dec. 11. Fears that the (Bolsheviki will dissolve the constitu ent assembly if they are opposed j therein by a majority arc expressed in manifestoes issued by various non I Bolsheviki socialist bodies. The cen- !tral committee of most of the social ist oramizations and the executive commi'A j of the peasants' deputies have issued an address to the public wherein they say: ''Only the immediate conclusion of peace can save Russia from political and economic ruin and civil war and preserve the acquisitions of the revo lution, but it must be a stable peace, guaranteeing the economic and po litical independence of Russia and the Interests of the revolution. It must not be a separate peace, but a gen eral one. Nevertheless the Bolshe viki government began negotiations for a separate armistice without await jing the decision of the constituent as Isemblv, without the approval of the ll -.1--.i .! !. people, wunout any control on me part of the people, without consulting other parties, without awaiting the re plies of our allies.

The armistice does not bind Russia nor any part of it, pending the deci sion of the constituent assembly. The separate armistice of the Bolsheviki will not result in a general peace. We are firmly convinced that the constit uent assembly, truly expressing the will of the people, will obtain a peace guaranteeing the interests of Russia md international democracy."
